As a society, we seem to have a hard-on for watching folks with large-sized differentials interact. From Gulliver’s Travels to Attack of the Fifty-Foot Woman and, more recently, The Magic School Bus, Rick and Morty, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids; we love exploring media that includes people who are an impossible size.
It’s no wonder that a rather large group of folks have sexualized this interest.

What Is Macrophilia?
Giantess fetish, or Macrophilia, is sexual arousal related to giant people, where “macro” means big and “philios” means love [1]. The emphasis is on height, not width, with the giants usually being proportional to humans but sometimes over one hundred times the size of regular humans. The inverse of this fetish is microphilia [2], which involves fantasizing about being a giant having sexual power over tiny people.
Why Are Giants Sexy?
Limited research on these fetishes has shown that exploring female domination and vulnerability tends to be the draw of macrophilia [3].
The dom/sub-component arouses some because size can be a way to exert power, with tiny people being particularly susceptible to being submissive. If a giant can put you in their mouth or pocket and have their way with you, you are entirely at their mercy.
Common sexual fantasies include:
- Many fantasize about having contact with the genitalia of the giant. Maybe even having their whole body inserted into their genitals (vore).
- Others fantasize about oral contact, where the small person is pleasured or taken into the mouth of the giant.
- Other desires include the giant engulfing them in sexual fluids, masturbation by rubbing their body against parts of the giant, or even the giant eating them.
- The situations can be specific, such as taping the small person to a toothbrush and covering them in spit or being a tiny cuckold forced to watch the giant make love.
- This fetish used to be controversial, as some giantesses used to crush life bugs, worms, lobsters, or worse. It’s now illegal.
Who Are They?
Although anybody can hold this sexual fantasy, the bulk of the community involves submissive men who are turned on by the idea of being crushed by skyscraper-sized ladies.
Perhaps this community consists mainly of men because men already have more power and are physically larger [3]. As a result, there’s no need to eroticize large men because we are confronted with them every day.
The higher incidence of this fetish in men may also be because men tend to be more likely to have a fetish in general than femme folks and straight women.
A minority of macrophiles enjoy playing around with realistic size differences. For example, if a 5-foot-two person dated a seven-foot person, they would essentially be dating a giant. As one Reddit user explains:
“Since I was a kid, I dreamed about girls a lot bigger than me, like 3 meters +. And the girls I liked in school were really tall. I’d go as far as to say I find girls taller than me 100%+ sexier and 20% cuter per extra inch.”
However, experimenting with real size differences is just a minority of this community. Most are into more extreme differences where one partner puts a speck on the other’s toe.
Why Does A Giantess Fantasy Develop?
An experience of sexual imprinting can lead to developing a giant fetish [4]. For example, a young person encounters a large woman that towers over them. It can also develop through trauma. For example, someone or something nearly squashes a young person, reframing it as a sexual feeling.
It’s also possible that during childhood, children may have felt they had to take on the responsibility of a parent too young, fantasizing about a large enough parent to handle the duties.
A Reddit user explains:
“I had it since I was a kid. Back then, perhaps it had something to do with feeling unsafe or shy and the fantasy of having an invincible female protector who could help me whenever I needed it, or maybe something I was born with. One of the main points is how powerful a giant would be. For example, 50 ft gigantic women could lift a car or crush someone using one hand easily. The attraction for me is knowing she could use this power to instantly kill me if she wanted. But if she chooses to talk normally or be my gf, I think it’s very cute and hot.”
People can also develop a giant fetish through classical conditioning. Perhaps, as a child, the macrophile viewed a movie showing a gigantic woman, and this memory became encoded as significant and paired with an early sexual feeling.
For example, if a person watches a movie with giants and pairs it with sexual feelings, in time, the two emotions can become linked. And the movie is enough to elicit sexual arousal.
@Abiglovethrowaway on Reddit explains:
“I have had the fetish longer than I’ve actually known anything about sex at all. As weird as that sounds, I’m not kidding. I used to think about giant women at night before I went to bed as a child of 6 years. I didn’t know why at the time. But it was a fairly common thing for me. Then, of course, time passed, and I slowly realized women were not just things to throw rocks at in the schoolyard. And I realized my particular tastes had a name after googling ‘giant women’ one fateful night. And here we are.”
Fetish Overlap
- There’s a clear connection between BDSM and a fetish for giants, with the giants having full control over the regular-sized folks. People may fantasize about being harmed or even killed by a giant.
- It’s related to crush fetishism, where someone gets excited by the concept of being stepped on or killed by a large person. Some want to experience the terror of being crushed and being at the mercy of large women.
- Many folks with a foot fetish enjoy exploring this fetish in conjunction with a giant kink. They may be aroused by being squished between the toes of a giantess as she paints her poster-sided toenails. You can read more about foot fetish here.
- There’s also an overlap with breast fetishism. For example, a Macrophile may fantasize about being pressed against or between the breasts of a giant woman.
How Common Is Giantess Fetish?
2015 was the year for giant porn, where on Pornhub, it grew 1091 percent from the year before. It’s not a mainstream fetish as a foot fetish, but folks seem to be very interested in this topic.
When you search for giant porn now, the term gets almost 10,000 hits, some videos with millions of views. There are also online forums like GiantessCity.com, with nearly 100,000 members!
How To Explore It With A Partner?
Of course, since we can’t physically shrink people, so much of macrophile porn consists of photos or videos that distort size with the help of Photoshop and editing.
Media showing macrophile porn can include plastic people being swallowed or crushed under a large body. It can also contain stories, comics, photographs, and colleges that aren’t explicitly sexual but include a giant reaping havoc or hanging out being big.
A giantess kink may be hard to explore in the real world unless you happen to be a very short person looking to make love to the largest person you can find.
However, there has been some talk of a virtual reality headset that can place macrophiles in a world where they can live out their sexual pleasure. Many forums discuss the excitement of this possibility as something that will happen very soon.
Ask your partner what kink excites them. Perhaps you can take point-of-view (POV) pictures from a low angle, so it looks like they are looking up at you. Use dirty talk. For example, say you will swallow them or use their body as a tiny dildo, so they can’t breathe or see. Perhaps you want to put them in your pocket and forget about them.
If you’re uncomfortable engaging in role-play, maybe you can take a drama class to feel more comfortable playing the giant role. You can become creative in incorporating this fetish into your sex life. For example, a user on Reddit explains:
”On occasion, as I’m about to finish up from an assisted handjob, I will close one eye, and she will put her mouth slowly over my open eye, to mime swallowing me alive as though I were a tiny man. Which is sort of nice.”
